Rory Dannenberg

After working in the housing industry in the mid 1980's, the passion for construction was in Rory's blood. He loved the creativity and imagination that great builders brought to the industry. This led him to attend the University of Arizona school of Architecture and subsequently open his own custom building business in Arizona.

Rory has been in the Home Building Industry since 1992, becoming a licensed builder in 1993 in Arizona. When Rory and his wife Nikki started that custom home building business, it grew and expanded branched quickly into the building of custom homes and Commercial properties. From Restaurant's to grocery stores, from small homes to homes up to 23,000 sq ft plus, all with unmatched quality.

Never thinking they would leave Arizona, they did decide to visit Kentucky! Now, the rest of the story. They loved the hills, the seasons, the trees, horses and farms. It was green and they loved that too, and most importantly, what a great place to raise a family! And so with Little Zakk , Zoe, lovely wife, Nikki, and their business prowess, moved to Lexington. What Rory was lauded and applauded for in construction in Arizona, is what he is wowing the custom housing market with here in the Bluegrass of Kentucky. A true custom builder, unrivaled in this area.
